NI PXIe-4353 and TC-4353 Installation Guide and Terminal ...

1 Installation Guide AND Terminal BLOCK SPECIFICATIONSNI PXIe-4353 and TC-4353NI SC Express is a family of PXI Express modules with integrated data acquisition and signal conditioning. These devices offer increased speed, accuracy, and synchronization features that are well suited for high-density sensor measurement and signal-conditioning systems. The TC-4353 rack-mount Terminal block accessories provides thermocouple plug-in Terminal Guide describes how to install and configure the NI PXIe-4353 module and TC-4353 Terminal block, thermocouple connector signals, and verify that the system is working properly. Current versions of NI documents are available at NI PXIe-4353 is a high-accuracy thermocouple input module that supports up to 32 thermocouple inputs and has 8 cold-junction compensation (CJC) channels for improved CJC accuracy.

2 The TC-4353 Terminal block has eight thermistors that provide CJC for TC-4353 Terminal block is designed for use with the following module as specified:NI PXIe-4353 .. 80 mV maximum voltage measurement rangeCautionDo not supply hazardous voltages (>30 Vpk/60 VDC) to the TC-4353 Terminal to the NI PXIe-4353 Specifications document for additional voltage and safety keying of this Terminal block prevents it from connecting to other modules that could be damaged by the voltage present on the Terminal block. However, you should only use this Terminal block with its supported | |NI PXIe-4353 and TC-4353 ContentsWhat You Need to Get Started.

6 Install the SoftwareNoteYou must be an administrator to install NI software and devices on your installing the NI SC Express hardware, make sure the following are installed in the order application software, such as LabVIEW, LabWindows /CVI , or . or | |NI PXIe-4353 and TC-4353 NoteWhen installing NI application software, such as NI LabVIEW, refer to the NI-DAQmx Readme on the software disc for supported software versions. Back up any applications before upgrading software or modifying the an NI-DAQmx simulated device, you can test NI-DAQmx applications without installing hardware. Refer to the Create a Simulated Device section for instructions for creating NI-DAQmx simulated 2.

7 Unpack and Install the ModuleRemove the packaging and inspect the module. Contact NI if the module is damaged. Do not install a damaged module is static sensitive. Always properly ground yourself and the equipment when handling or connecting to the the following steps to install the NI SC Express module while referring to Figures 1 and 2 off the PXI Express chassis. Refer to the chassis manual for chassis Installation and configuration to the Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility, included with your module, before connecting or disconnecting signal a supported PXI Express slot in the chassis. NI SC Express devices can be placed only in PXI Express Peripheral slots, PXI Express Hybrid Peripheral slots, and PXI Express System Timing slots.
